Regarding the bomb threat email sent to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar, and himself, the Home Minister emphasized the complexity of the ongoing investigations into these cases.
“Earlier, miscreants had sent bomb threat emails to Bengaluru schools. The cooperation of international companies such as Facebook, WhatsApp and others is required to crack these cases. However, the cooperation is not forthcoming. If they cooperate the cases could be cracked easily,” he stated, as per the report.
Addressing the case involving pro-Pakistan slogans, he noted that three individuals had been apprehended following analysis of the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report.
"We had indicated that arrests would be made upon receipt of the FSL report. Now that they have been arrested, investigations are underway. However, the BJP is urging for the arrest of many individuals. As an opposition party, it is within their prerogative to demand action. Nonetheless, arrests cannot be made without substantial evidence," he said.
